Sixers, Pacers clash in IndyBasketball Betting Lines03/09/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Philadelphia 76ers finally got off the schneid with a big win at Toronto this weekend, and hope that carries over into Tuesday's road bout against the Indiana Pacers at Conseco Fieldhouse. Philadelphia was able to snap a five-game losing streak with Sunday afternoon's 114-101 triumph over the Raptors at Air Canada Centre thanks to Thaddeus Young, who scored a career-high 32 points on 13-of-18 shooting. Rookie Jrue Holliday netted 21 points and Andre Iguodala scored 16 in a winning effort. "My jumper was really going good," Young said. "My teammates put me in positions to do well. As a team, we just wanted to come out aggressively and get the lead and maintain the lead throughout the game." Elton Brand had 12 points and nine boards in the win, just the Sixers' third in their last 11 tries. Philadelphia ended a three-game road losing streak and improved to 13-20 as the guest this season. The Sixers will return home for two games versus Charlotte and Cleveland after their visit to Indy. Indiana just lost every test on a four-game road trip and is coming off Saturday's 113-105 setback Phoenix. Danny Granger had 24 points and seven rebounds, while Roy Hibbert ended with 22 points, six rebounds and five blocks for Indiana, which has just two wins in its last 13 contests. "I thought we competed all trip," Pacers head coach Jim O'Brien said. "We didn't come out on the positive side but I think it shows how tough minded our guys are. Four games in five nights on a tough road trip; we competed our hearts out, just didn't come away with what we needed to." Troy Murphy tallied 19 points and 16 boards in a losing effort. The Pacers hope to improve on their 13-16 home ledger this evening. The Sixers and Pacers have split a pair of matchups this season, with each team winning on enemy territory. Indiana has won six of the past nine meetings with Philadelphia. These two teams have split the last 12 meetings in Indy.

American Idol Betting Odds: Season 6 The online gambling websites are in the process of deciphering each American Idol contestant and his or her chances of winning Season 6 to come up with the early American Idol betting lines. Tim Dalton of MySportsbook.com has been locked away in a soundproof room coming up with all the latest tallies, we are told. "American Idol has become one of the most significant betting events of the year," claims Jack Black of MySportsbook.com. "Last year, millions were bet during the season across the globe, not just in America.It's tough early on since we really do not have a glimpse as to how well each of these individuals will perform solo on a week-to-week basis. It's like Week 1 of the NFL. Pre-season means nada! We do know the 24 finalists however. Sanjaya Malakar is the young man whose sister failed to make it into the Top 24. He's very low key but - unless he totally flubs - will probably win over the young girlie vote for a few weeks anyway. He's too young to go all the way, according to Payton O'Brien. Chris Sligh - He's got the humor and in many ways he's the Anti-American Idol much like last year's winner Taylor Hicks was. And this is why he'll probably get pretty far in this competition. He's chubby, white with a big curly afro....but more importantly, a great voice! People love "real", not "real cute" to go all the way. "Blake Lewis should go far because of his uniqueness and looks. He's the boy next store with a twist - he beat boxes. But on top of this, he's a great singer, and I adore him," Payton O'Brien relayed. Paul Kim has caught our own roving reporter, Jenny Woo's eyes. "I love the fact that there is a Korean American on the show and he is bound to get more Asians tuning into the show," Woo said from her Miami Beach estate. "There has never been a major presence of Asian-Americans on American Idol in the past. He's a hottie with a nice voice so that should help to take him far. Expect heavy betting action from the Asian community." Sundance Head - He's not perfect, but he's got the personality that will take him through a few weeks, plus he's got the lineage (son of Roy Head - whose 1965 single, "Treat Her Right," hit No. 5 in the charts) And the others: Alena Alexander - Those tears (she never seems to stop bawling) should get her far.
